A letter to Black River quells the flood dragon trouble; a pill perfected in the jade furnace is sent to Shuangbai

"Uncle-Master, how about we do it this way?"

"I wrote a letter and sent it to the Black River Water Manor to congratulate the Black Jade Flood Dragon King on behalf of the Jade Spring Sect. I also had some spiritual resources prepared as a congratulatory gift to celebrate the Jiao King's joyous occasion of finding a son-in-law."

"This way, we can be both polite and keep the other side calm, buying us time."

Heiming Xuanzhao was taken aback, and immediately waved his hands repeatedly, saying, "How can we use the sect's spiritual resources?"

"He Gu Du a member of the Dark Crow Tribe, he cannot accept this title, he cannot accept this title..."

But the matter was settled in this way.

Heiming Xuanzhao could only bow deeply before turning and leaving.

Chen Shuangbai stood alone in the hall, gazing at the deepening twilight outside the window, his eyes deep and thoughtful.

The Black River Water Manor detained the Heiming Gu Du, but did not kill him... This indicates that the Water Mansion Lord or a certain dragon in the Water Mansion had designs on him, so his life was temporarily safe.

"Every single thing has happened all at once."

Chen Shuangbai rose into the light and returned to the shore of [ Dew Radiance Pool ] to cultivate.

Since slaying the Demon King Junli and the four Golden Core True Person of the Celebrated Origin Sect, he has gained a deeper understanding of Sword Intent. Now he is just waiting for the [ Sun Yi Golden Core Pill ] to be completed so that he can refine it together and achieve his own Sword Intent.

Since suffering a major loss last time, including the loss of several Golden Core and the defeat of the Crimson Fire Crow that they had painstakingly recruited on the Ning Country battlefield, the Holy Origin Alliance has naturally launched a vigorous counterattack.

For a time, the attacks of the Holy Origin Alliance's demonic army on the Ning Country, West Kingdom, and Qian Kingdom battlefields became increasingly entangled.

On the battlefield of the Qian Kingdom, the Flower Washing Sword Sect still holds the home-field advantage and is steadily advancing its battle line, forcing White Deer Mountain to retreat again and again, losing many prefectures and counties over the course of several months.

The battlefield in the West Kingdom was at a stalemate.

The West Kingdom is the home ground of the Celebrated Origin Sect, and also the border area of the Holy Origin Alliance, Heavenly Star Alliance, and Vast Waves Alliance.

Therefore, the three alliances exercised great restraint, keeping the battle situation within an acceptable range to avoid any situation where someone else could reap the benefits.

Only the Ning Country battlefield...

After losing several Golden Core, the Holy Origin Alliance realized that this place was indeed troublesome, and understood that if they could break through and advance straight into the Jing Kingdom's blessed land, it would be a significant blow to the Vast Waves Alliance.

Therefore, the Holy Origin Alliance dispatched two more Nascent Soul True Lord.

One Nascent Soul Early Stage Nascent Soul Middle Stage, and the other was in the middle Nascent Soul stage. They belonged to the Parting Hate Gate and the Transformation Sect, respectively. Together with True Lord Shendu, who was originally guarding this place, they raised an army of 100,000 demons and launched a fierce invasion of the Jing Kingdom in three routes!

True Lord Qingyu was caught off guard by the enemy. In order to preserve most of his forces, he decisively abandoned Hengzhang City and gave up Wu Province. Instead, he went to the deeper Ling Province hinterland and, with the help of a second line of defense built with more rigorous and abundant defenses, he managed to hold off the three for a while despite being seriously injured. Finally, he waited for the Nascent Soul from the alliance to arrive, which stabilized the battle situation slightly.

Currently, the Azure Dragon Mountain area in Ling Province is ravaged by continuous warfare. The supplies and cultivators of the Jade Spring Sect are rushing towards Azure Dragon Mountain in an endless stream, determined to defend this strategic pass.

More than two years later.

Jade Spring Sect.

Ding Chengyu took the blood-stained Jade Slip and probed it with his Divine Sense. The solemnity on his face never faded from beginning to end.

After Chen Shuangbai, the Daoist Dao Child, entrusted him with all the sect's secular affairs, he had been in charge of them for five or six years. Apart from the two True Lord, True Person Mei, and Chen Shuangbai, the Jade Spring Dao Child, almost no one could rival him in power.

The higher one sits, the more one understands the heavier the burden on one's shoulders!

This Jade Slip contains battle reports from Azure Dragon Mountain.

Each time the information came back, besides the spiritual resources and cultivators' needs mentioned, there were mostly lists of casualties.

Each list contains the names of people who were once alive, including disciples of the Jade Spring Sect and cultivators from other sects of the Vast Waves Alliance.

Sometimes he even wondered what the Jade Spring Sect would be like now if he hadn't been reborn.

But he knew now was not the time for sentimentality.

He stood up and walked to the map showing the vast battle lines.

On this map.

The red and blue markers representing the spheres of influence of both sides were intertwined, and a small portion of the red lines had even sneaked past Ling Province's defenses and were heading towards the other seven states, but they were intercepted in time.

Ding Chengyu's gaze settled on one place, a place called Azure Dragon Mountain.

The red mark representing the enemy, the Holy Origin Alliance, had been deeply embedded in the blue defensive line, like a dagger pressed against the throat of the Jing Kingdom.

How are preparations for the quest for spiritual resources at the front going?

Ding Chengyu asked without turning his head.

A Late Qi Refining Stage disciple on duty immediately stepped forward, bowed, and reported, "Reporting to the True Person Immortal, the transport ships are already on their way to the front lines. All three [ Flowing Light Cloud Boat ] have been deployed, and the monthly spiritual funds from the Jade Wave Immortal Market have been delivered on time."

Ding Chengyu nodded, then looked at the other three glowing circles on the map and asked, "What's the progress on the three key cities of the formation?"

"Not ideal."

The disciple's face was also gloomy as he said, "The spiritual resources required for these three key cities are enormous, and the time needed to complete their repairs is being held back by the front lines, so progress is already slowing down."

Ding Chengyu frowned slightly.

"The progress cannot be slowed down. If there are any needs, please report them. I will discuss them with the alliance and the Jade Wave Immortal Market... The sooner these three array core cities are completed, the sooner the pressure on our sect will be relieved."

"Under no circumstances can the progress slow down; it must be accelerated even further!"

Report any problems to me immediately!

"Yes!"

After the disciple left to deliver the message, Ding Chengyu felt a headache coming on, but he knew he couldn't rest now. He could only force himself to get up and pick up the unfinished mundane tasks on the jade table beside him.

Suddenly.

A powerful surge of energy erupted from the direction of Upper Yang Peak.

Immediately, a wonderful fragrance filled the air, indicating that a third-tier precious pill had been produced.

A beam of watery light descended from Upper Yang Peak and landed in the Myriad Phenomena Hall, revealing a person— Yi Chongyue, Chen Shuangbai's master.

At this moment, Yi Chongyue's face was etched with exhaustion, but his eyes shone with a sharp light. He held a jade box in his hand, from which the lingering fragrance of medicine slowly wafted.

Ding Chengyu was immediately overjoyed and asked, "Uncle-Master, has the precious pill been successfully made?"

Yi Chongyue nodded emphatically, about to say something, but suddenly his legs went weak, and he almost fell over.

Ding Chengyu hurriedly released his Law Power to lift him up, and after giving him several pills, Martial Uncle Yi finally caught his breath a little.

But Yi Chongyue paid no attention to his own health. Instead, he handed the jade box to Shuangbai and said solemnly, "The situation is difficult. My Martial Uncle Gongye and I have been working day and night to refine this precious elixir. Please deliver it to Shuangbai as soon as possible, lest it delay his cultivation!"
